One of such magnificent accommodations in Fira is the famous Athina Luxury Suites. It offers one of the best services in Santorini, as expected of the capital of the Island.

Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Santorini Greece is during the shoulder seasons, around April to May and September to October. The tourist season starts during that time, although most people do not arrive until summertime in June. Visiting the Athina Luxury suites during the shoulder seasons will earn you discounts and ease in securing a space. That is because tourists around during that time is still few.
However, if you choose the summertime to visit Santorini Greece, prepare to pay a higher price for everything. All the rooms get booked quickly, meaning if you do not book a space ahead in the hotel you may neverget one there.
Winter is also a good time to visit the resort for low hotel rates. It is the off-season, meaning there are few people around, and securing space is easy at a discounted rate. However, winter is not the best time for outdoor activities. Wintertime in Santorini sees plenty of rainfall, heralding the arrival of a blossom-filled spring.
You can get bargain prices in the off-season, the weather will be less favorable, and many tourist attractions will be closed. Also, public transportation are scarce, leaving you enjoying only indoor activities.

Conclusion
As newlyweds, long-term, or married couples, you should lodge in the magical Athina Luxury Suites at least once. I went with my girlfriend, and we had a swell time in the luxury hotel.
